The restart script illustrates how ListSTAR can administrate your Mac remotely via applescripts and e-mail. This is a simple, open-ended example which restarts your Mac. You could also have the computer toggle file-sharing, speak, or any other Apple Event aware action.
What you need
AppleScript as well as the scriptable Finder. (An install of System 7.5 or later guarantees compatibility, although System 7 Pro may work as well.)
Configuring ListSTAR
Set up a "remote control" service which looks for commands in the subject of the message and include a trigger to verify that the "from" address is contained in a special administrative address list. Set the action to execute the applescript.
If you have any problems or questions, contact StarNine Support. Unfortunately, we cannot support any further customization of this script. See the ListSTAR Scripts ReadMe for more sources of information.
